奸人-敛衽
Lesson 45 A clear conscience问心无愧
How did Sam get his money back?
The whole village soon learnt that a large sum of
money had been lost. Sam Benton, the local
butcher, had lost his wallet while taking his
savings to the post office. Sam was sure that the
wallet
must have been found by one of the
villagers, but it was not returned to him. Three
months passed,
and then one morning, Sam found
his wallet outside his front door. It had been
wrapped up in
newspaper and it contained half
the money he had lost, together with a note which
said: 'A thief, yes,
but only 50 per cent a
thief!' Two months later, some more money was sent
to Sam with another note:
'Only 25 per cent a
thief now!' In time, all Sam's money was paid back
in this way. The last note said:
'I am 100 per
cent honest now!'
